Joe - I would suggest you consider the following:- Google "REIAs" in your local areas.- Search Meet Up App to see what meetings/meet ups are nearby.- Post on craigslist asking about networking with other real estate investors. - I would search Bigger Pockets for members in VT and ask them their thoughts.Greg

Personally, I wouldn't spend money on an attorney because 1) I think the covenants/restrictions can sensibly be used against STRs and 2) because the HOA potentially has deep pockets if the officers decide to fight because they can pass the cost of the fight to the home owners.I would reach out to the officers to get their sentiments and to plead my case, and I would start building my case with the other homeowners.
